The animations on this page were not well tested. They run at about 0.5 fps in Firefox, but are completely smooth in Chrome.

People use other browsers than Chrome? Kidding - but in all seriousness it's very hard to test in FireFox. I constantly find that things run super smooth in Chrome and then I test in FireFox and everything dies.

I'm seriously surprised that you haven't switched back to Firefox yet

Is that a conflict of interest having your mentor launch a direct competitor to your company?

No hard feelings here. We mean it when we say we're big fans of Patrick, John, Stripe. It's unfortunate that we have to compete, we would have loved to work with them. Our approach is completely different than theirs: light integrations vs deep integrations.

I can see what you're saying, but this was not as well worded as it could have been.

I take it you don't use a Mac, Chrome is a battery hog on OSX and I'd love to hear it isn't because I might try it again. For now it's Safari+FF for me. It's been a while since FF sucked.

Forgive my stupidity but can someone explain why this is so neat? I see examples that appear to be a links from a Tweet to a product buying page. Is that what's new? I'm obviously missing something or maybe just not clever enough to get it... Thanks in advance.

If you view this tweet: https://twitter.com/WarbyParker/status/643472513297682432 You should see a buy button within the tweet itself allowing you to buy the product directly from the tweet.

Ah - thank you. I'm so used to viewing Tweets in an App which doesn't support that feature yet so I was just redirected to a Web page.

Many thanks for taking the time to answer.

Apple doesn't allow purchases of digital products that don't go through the In App Purchase system and its 30% tax. Physical goods are just fine (hence the Amazon app where you can buy a book, but not a Kindle book).

I wonder if along the line Apple would make it mandatory for all payments, made physically (eg: Apple Pay) or digitally (eg: Stripe), to go through by then. I mean, since they are interested in the payments area, why shouldn't them?

30% will kill margins on many goods.

As another data point, FF Dev Edition averages 52fps. FF 40 is much worse at 40fps.

Also FF Dev Edition, averaging 0.94 fps. It's on Ubuntu though with Nvidia card.

Pretty sure it's all about whether HW acceleration is enabled or not.

You're right. Can't edit it anymore. Would have deleted the second paragraph.

That didn't stop them with e-books.
